"Proud Work Ethics, LLC did a great job of power washing and staining my deck. Although we had changes to our original plan, Bob went with the flow and made sure I was satisfied with the outcome, Bob is a real professional, whom I feel goes out of his way to satisfy is customers. I would hire Bob again and highly recommend him to others."

"Eric takes his time to insure that the prep work is done right. He is careful and very knowledgeable about his craft. He did our trim and shutters that had not been painted in 14 years as well as the old garage door. This required a lot of sanding, scraping and re puttying the windows and doors. They now look almost brand new especially the garage door. His prices are very competitive and much better than the big paint consolidating chains. We will have him back to refinish our kitchen cabinets. You can trust Eric to do a first class job."

"The team at DJ Painting, LLC were great! I got several other quotes and they were the least expensive, even considering what was included. The workers were polite and quiet, as we were home while the work was being performed. Everything was cleaned up afterwards like they were never there. They also left the extra materials (paint) for us to keep for future use. Other quotes did not include the paint, I was responsible for paying for it myself. They went above and beyond what they had to do. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to my friends and family."

"I was so impressed with the quality of Mr. Valle’s work that we asked him to come back! Mr. Valle was a pleasure to work with. When he showed up on the first day, his attention to all the small details was surprising to say the least. His work materials were well-organized, and his work left no mess for us to clean up afterwards, unlike many other contractors. The finished product is outstanding. I plan on having him continue to assist us with our old home soon. Overall, you will not be sorry you hired Mr. Valle. His Angi’s listing sells himself short as he is so much more than a Painter. We had him recreate an antique window casing from scraps of mouldings we had salvaged from other areas of our home. The finished product is outstanding and looks original in every detail. He is genuinely a Craftsman in every sense of the word. You will not be sorry you hired Mr. Valle! I will share his name and number far and wide, as workmen like this are rare these days."

"John was very conscientious about my needs for the removal of old wall paper and the painting of my kitchen and upstairs bathroom. He is a true professional who values time and quality service. I felt that I was with a professional who understood my needs and was ready to give me a first rate job based on his many years of experience. I appreciated his suggestions and would recommend him to family and friends. He did a great job with my kitchen and bathroom. Michelle J. Belleville, NJ"

"Cesar stated what he was going to do and had before and after photos as I was not going onto my roof. Then he also found other minor items that needed repaired. He was fair on the price of the new items also. Cleaned everything up."

Deck Staining questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood, as this helps prevent the surface from cracking. However, it is crucial to wait for the wood to dry out completely from the chemical treatment process before applying a finish. If the wood is still wet, the paint will not adhere properly. The drying time can range from weeks to six months. To test if the wood is ready, drip some water onto a board. If the water is absorbed, the wood is dry enough for painting or staining. If the water beads up on the surface, it needs more time to dry. You can build with the wood while it's still wet, but you must wait for it to dry before painting.

It’s important to make sure the wood on a new deck is properly seasoned. Seasoning a deck is simple: Once you build it (or have a pro do so), just leave it alone so it can acclimate to the environment. If you don’t give the deck proper seasoning time before staining, the stain can lock in any lingering moisture and cause mold, rot, and other moisture issues down the road. Give the wood at least four to eight weeks to season before you stain.

There are more pros than cons when staining a deck. Deck stain is more affordable than paint, it protects the wood and allows the natural textures to shine through, and it can revive the appearance of your home. However, deck stain also requires prep work (sometimes days or more), carries more upkeep than a painted deck, and can fade over time if not cared for. 

It’s best to prime composite decking before painting. This promotes better paint adhesion, helps create a smooth finish, and can mean the paint job will last longer. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application, allow ample primer drying time before painting (typically 24 to 48 hours), and thoroughly clean the deck boards to promote the best adhesion.

Stains penetrate wood best when it's cool and dry, so you want to avoid moisture. If the wood is wet upon application, or if it rains before the stain dries, the water will soak into the wood and displace the staining solution. This leads to a flaky and blotchy look, which is the opposite of a sumptuous even coat. Once the stain has fully cured, after about 3 days, rain shouldn’t cause you any problems.
